Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Strange Promise

[Third Person's PoV] 

"No," Mimosa said, shaking her head, a faint smile lingering in her lips. 

"No?" Nero asked, tilting her head in confusion. 

"In order for this to work you can't be a mistress. None of us can" Mimosa said, lifting up a finger. 

'What the hell is actually happening?' Stephen wondered as he looked between Nero and Mimosa. 

Mimosa then turned towards Stephen, "We actually never did get confirmation from you did we? I was already planning everything without asking you what your decision on the matter was. Sorry about that…" Mimosa apologized sincerely. 

Stephen made a hand sign causing time to stop all around.

"..." 

"I panicked…" Stephen sighed and realized what he truly did. He took a deep breath and thought this through, 'What the hell is going on with my life man… When I reincarnated I was the happiest because I was finally away from those bastards. Never in a million years did I think I would be building a goddamn harem' 

Stephen rocked side to side in a contemplative manner, 'It's not just something I can say yes to without really thinking this through…' 

Stephen rubbed his eye simply out of exasperation. 

After a bit Stephen returned the time back to normal, 

"So what do you think?" Mimosa inquired. 

"Before I can say anything more I have to ask, are you sure you want to do this? I wouldn't want you to regret this later on in life" Stephen asked with a serious expression. 

Mimosa looked down with a faint smile, "You might think of me as weak for saying this but I really wouldn't want to hurt someone close to me… It's just something I refuse to do" 

Mimosa then looked up towards Stephen and looked him right his blue eyes and with a large radiant grin and her forest colored eyes burning with determination as she said, "With this no one will be hurt and we could all he happily together" 

Stephen stared wide-eyed looking at her wide smile as she closed her eyes and looked away from Mimosa, when Mimosa opened her eyes she tilted her head in confusion. She looked towards Nero and saw her smiling and motioned towards him with her head.

Mimosa leaned towards the side and saw that Stephen was covering the bottom of his face with the back of his hand as he blushed, 'Why… Why the hell did she look so beautiful, ugh, I have to stop blushing this so pathetic' Stephen said, making his ears red now out of embarrassment. 

Mimosa only had a teasing smirk which she suppressed. 

After Stephen calmed down, he took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't think you're weak… In fact I think you're the opposite, you're one of the most selfless people I know. It's one of the things I admire and like most about you, I still remember how during the Dungeon raid you didn't hesitate to use your body as a shield to protect Noelle when she was injured when the dungeon was collapsing… When I saw that, that's when I wanted to get to know you more, wanted to know the person that was chosen as my fiance" 

Mimosa looked down, smiling bashfully, until she saw Stephen reach his hand for hers, when she looked back up he was holding her hands with a serious expression, "Although I'm agreeing to this plan, that doesn't mean you should be throwing away your own happiness and desires away just to please other people" 

Mimosa was taken aback, her eyes were suddenly widened, until she heard Stephen say, "I want you to promise me something" 

"Eh?" 

"I want you to promise me that if there ever comes a time where you have to choose to either be selfless or selfish, that you would pick to be selfish. There's is absolutely nothing wrong with being selfish and choosing your own happiness, no matter what anyone tells you otherwise" 

Mimosa felt her heart skip a beat and butterflies flutter in her stomach as she looked at the intensity in Stephen's eyes. 

Mimosa looked down and began to chuckle. 

Stephen looked towards Nero, causing her to shrug as if asking, 'Why are you asking me?' 

They then heard her mumble something, Stephen looked back at her with a confused expression. 

"Hm?" Stephen Hummed. 

"I said you're a liar…" She said with a small pout, although her eyes sparkled with joy. 

"Wha–? What did I lie about?" Stephen asked as he doesn't really remember lying about anything. 

"Earlier you said you weren't a good person" She said with a chuckle, "But that's clearly a lie, no bad person ever admits that they're a bad person, and no bad person would ever make me promise them to choose my own happiness" 

Mimosa then went and tackled Stephen down the bed taking him by surprise. She stood over him with her hands between Stephen's head as he laid in the bed. 

"What are you doing?" Stephen asked, looking up towards Mimosa with a raised brow, her beautiful long orange hair cascading down creating a veil around their faces. 

Mimosa looked down with a mischievous grin, "I'm promising to be selfish and choosing my own happiness" She said before going down and locking lips with Stephen.

Stephen was a bit taken aback before he closed his eyes and savored her honey flavor lips, his hand raised as he cupped her face as the two began to kiss. 

As they distanced themselves for a bit they both smiled and chuckled before they were immediately both attacked and pecked at by Nero. Who had to repossess her body to save herself as they had accidentally thrown her sleeping body when Mimosa tackled Stephen. 

After a bit of apologizing Nero was back in her astral form looking at them with a deadpan expression. 

Mimosa snapped her fingers as she realized, "You know, we've never really introduced ourselves to one another, have we? And since we're planning to share Stephen and be together with him then I think it would be better if we get to know each other and become friends" She said with a beautiful friendly smile. 

Mimosa extended her hand towards Secre, "My name is Mimosa Vermillion, I hope we can get along well in the future" 

"Secre Swallowtail" Secre said, hovering her hand over Mimosa's. Both shook their hands since they couldn't really touch each other due to her astral form. 

As they 'shook' hands they couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous they looked. 

"Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get to know each other" Mimosa cheerfully. 

Stephen only looked at them with a smile and didn't interrupt them. 

Stephen was walking through the Mirror Dimension, with every step he took the entire space was shifting, moving around as if the entire Dimension was taking them to their. destination. 

On Stephen's head Nero's bird form rested while her eyes closed. Secre's astral form 'walking' besides him with her hands behind her back. 

As she looked around at the ever shifting plane she became curious, "Why didn't you ask her?"

"Hm? Ask her what?" Stephen asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, I know you're smarter than you let on. Why didn't you ask Mimosa who it was that she was doing this for. For who the entire harem idea was for? We both know she wasn't talking about me" Secre scoffed. 

Stephen closed his eyes and let out a sigh, "Because it would be a redundant question to ask… I already know who she was referring to. No matter how much I try to pretend to be oblivious to it or act as if I don't know, hoping that she would get over it. Mimosa was obviously talking about Noelle"

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Strange Beach Episode (1)

[Third Person's PoV]

When Stephen returned to base, he noticed that Asta and Yami had come back from their meeting with the Wizard King.

Yami shared the news with everyone, saying, "Everyone clear your schedule for tomorrow—we're going to the beach!"

"HELL YEAAAAAAAH!" Magna shouted, while Luck, Vanessa, and Charmy jumped up in celebration.

The next day…

"IT'S THE BEACH!" everyone shouted, leaping into the sand with their arms in the air, dressed in their swimwear.

"Look at all these babes in bikinis!" Finral exclaimed excitedly.

Meanwhile, Stephen walked alongside Asta, both kicking the sand lightly with their feet. "You know, I never did ask how your day at the mixer went," Stephen said.

Asta raised two thumbs up, exclaiming, "It was great! I met this cool girl—her name's Rebecca!"

"Oh?" Stephen raised an eyebrow, looking at Asta with a surprised expression.

"Yeah, we became really good friends after realizing we have a lot in common," Asta said with a smile.

"Just friends?" Stephen teased, nudging him slightly.

Asta tilted his head in confusion. "Yeah. What else would we be?"

Stephen sighed, placing a hand over his face and shaking his head in exasperation. Before he could press further, they heard Luck calling out, "Hey, guys!"

They turned to see Luck burying Magna in the sand from head to toe. Asta's eyes sparkled as he ran toward them.

Just as Stephen was about to follow, someone called his name.

"Oooh, Stephen~"

Stephen sighed, looking up toward the sky. "Oh Lord, give me strength."

Turning toward the voice, he saw Vanessa reclining on a beach chair under a parasol made of large leaves. She held a mug of beer, which she placed on a small table beside Nero, who was perched on a pillow. Vanessa beckoned him over with a teasing smirk.

Rolling his eyes, Stephen walked toward her. Once he arrived, Vanessa leaned back, one hand on her hip and the other on her chair. "So, how do I look?" she asked.

Stephen tilted his head in confusion, looking her up and down. "What's different?"

"Wha–?!" Vanessa exclaimed. Motioning up and down her body, she said, "I'm wearing a bikini, obviously! Doesn't it look good on me?"

"How is that any different from your underwear?" Stephen asked, raising an eyebrow.

Vanessa opened her mouth to respond but hesitated, closing it again. Finally, she exclaimed, "I'm losing my sex appeal!"

"Don't I entice you anymore? Make you nervous? Make you want to blush?" she questioned in shock.

Stephen snorted, turning to walk away. "You're unbelievable," he said, shaking his head in amusement.

Before he could leave, Vanessa grabbed his hand with both of hers. "Wait, wait! I was only joking! I actually need something from you. Pretty please!" she begged.

"Fine, but only if you answer me honestly: why are you targeting me?" Stephen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Eh? What?" Vanessa blinked in surprise.

"I mean, you've been teasing me ever since I joined the squad. Asta's just as new as I am, but you don't tease him or any of the other guys. So why only me?" Stephen pressed, narrowing his eyes.

Vanessa paused, withdrawing her hand slowly as she looked down, seemingly contemplating the question.

'That's a good question,' she thought, putting a hand to her chin. She glanced back at Stephen, who raised an eyebrow at her silence, and began to examine him.

'Is it because he's cute? Well, that's part of it, but not the whole reason. It's strange... It just feels natural to tease him. Not to mention, I didn't hesitate to share a bed with him when he was drunk. I know how I dress, so I'm usually guarded, but with him, I'm not.'

Vanessa suddenly snapped her fingers. "Because your blushing makes you look ten times cuter!" she declared.

'She's clearly lying,' Stephen thought, 'but it seems like she doesn't know the real answer herself.'

Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it. So, what do you need?"

A mischievous smirk appeared on Vanessa's face as she leaned over and grabbed a bottle of sunscreen. Flipping onto her stomach, she kicked her legs playfully and held the bottle out to him.

"As a doctor, you must be good with your hands. Could you apply sunscreen on me? Pretty please?" she asked, batting her eyelashes. "I don't want to burn."

A tick mark appeared on Stephen's forehead, but he smiled politely, taking the lotion. "Certainly. It would be my pleasure."

For some reason, Vanessa felt a bad omen as Stephen began applying the lotion to his hands.

"Ahh~" Vanessa shivered slightly. "Your hands are cold," she said as he touched her back.

Sitting beside her on the chair, Stephen said, "Here's a medical lesson for you." He began running his hands across her back in a deliberate manner.

"Did you know that throughout the body, there are multiple pressure and acupuncture points?" Stephen said, his voice low.

He sensually ran his hands up her back to her shoulders, making Vanessa sigh softly as she rested her head between her crossed arms.

"For example," Stephen continued, pressing his thumbs into her shoulders and rotating them skillfully.

"Ahhh~" Vanessa unexpectedly moaned, caught off guard.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand in shock as her face turned a deep red. She turned to see Stephen smiling down at her with an extremely arrogant expression on his face.

Her face grew redder as she felt Stephen's hands move lower down her back. His fingers moved up and down her back in a way that made her shiver as they reached the sides of her waist.

He moved his hands and rubbed his fingers in small circles, causing a tickling sensation on her waist. Stephen moved his hands lower as his fingertips gently brushed the sides of her waist and then stopped just above her buttocks.

Stephen moved his hands upwards and then stopped them in the same place. His eyes stared into hers as a cocky smirk appeared on his lips. Her eyes widen in realization of what Stephen was trying to do, and she quickly turned her body to the side so he couldn't see her.

Stephen was surprised at the sudden movement, but continued applying the sunscreen. He ran his hand through the middle of her back, causing goosebumps to form on her skin.

As he reached the center of her back, his other hand moved around and pressed on the opposite side of her waist.

He repeated the movements until Vanessa was squirming underneath his touch.

When he felt her start to tremble, he stopped his movements. His fingertips traced patterns on her skin, as she tried to calm her breathing.

She felt his hand move back up, and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. His hands reached the middle of her back again, and he began rubbing the sunscreen there.

His movements were slow and deliberate, and she knew he was teasing her. His other hand came around and he started drawing shapes on her arm. He drew a circle on her shoulder blade, then another on her forearm, and then one more on her elbow.

She was surprised by how sensual it felt. She was beginning to feel frustrated with herself, because no matter how much she tried to resist, her body couldn't help but react to his touch.

When his hand moved back to her middle back, her breathing hitched and she had to bite her lip to keep from moaning. Stephen could feel the change in her body, and he knew she was close to her breaking point.

His hands slowly trailed down her sides, and his thumbs stroked the area above her hips.

Stephen applied the sunscreen again and moved to her thighs. He squeezed her legs gently, as he began massaging her muscles.

She bit her lip harder, trying not to moan.

Stephen smirked, as he continued his massage.

Vanessa felt like her body wasn't hers to control anymore, she felt as if she was at Stephen's mercy, 'Am...Am I seriously turned on right now?' This wasn't how she planned for things to go. She wanted to stop it, but at the same time she didn't. Her body betrayed her, she couldn't open her mouth to tell him to stop, her voice refused to leave her lips.

It wasn't fair, Stephen's hands were driving her insane, her body was heating up, she was sweating, her face was red and her breathing was getting more and more shallow, it was like the oxygen in her lungs had suddenly disappeared.

She could feel his hand getting closer to her butt, she was getting excited, 'Oh god, no I don't want this! But I really do!' Her mind screamed, her body didn't care, the tension was killing her, it was too much.

And just as she reached her climax Stephen withdrew his hands, "There you go," He said as he stood up. 

"What!?!" Vanessa asks, twisting her body to look at him. 

"Yeah all I had to do was apply sunscreen to your back, right?" Stephen asked, tilting his head. 

"Don't stop! I was right there! Why did you stop!?" She asked, her eyes shaking with madness. 

"Because I already applied enough? And I know you're here I see you" Stephen said tilting his head. 

However as Stephen fein ignorance she saw a teasing look in his eyes, looking down towards her. 

Vanessa pressed her face back between her arms looking down at the beach chair, 'That idiot! I was so close to cumming as well! Why did he stop! A second longer and I would have been his. But all it did was leave me wanting for more!'

A crazed look appeared in Vanessa's eyes, 'I have to find a way to get him to do it to me again… And there won't be an escape next time' However Vanessa's face then turned beet red, 'I need new bottoms'
